Check the tools as well as the sensor
A smart camera combines the sensor, the processing and the industrial communication in one unit, so the inspection runs without a separate computer. With a colour model, what can be inspected depends on the vision tools the device provides and on stable lighting, in addition to the sensor itself.
- Read which colour and inspection tools the selected model includes, and whether the job needs colour or would be more robust on a monochrome model.
- Check the lens arrangement and any built-in light against the field of view and working distance; fix the white balance on a reference target.
- Confirm the communication protocol and the digital I/O the controller needs, and the cycle time at the resolution you will use.
